Lo Vilot de Almacelles has been the first micromaltery of organic production in Catalonia

A paragliding accident would change your life. Quiònia Pujol and Óscar Mogilnicki have created Lo Vilot, the first Farm Brewery in Spain. They make beer with raw materials that they themselves produce at Almacelles  farm, a project for which they have won the Prize for Agri-Food Technological Innovation (PITA) in the agri-food industry of the Ministry of Agriculture.

From ground to pint Craft beer from farm to bottle

This “brewery farm” is built on the pillars of sustainability and proximity in brewing its craft beer.

Craft beer Lo Vilot brews a dozen of varieties of beer, with cereals from its own harvest. This year it opens up to exports.

Lo Vilot craft beer is a unique craft brewery, because it uses its own raw materials in brewing. With proximity and sustainability as its pillars, this two-person company from Almacelles has won the PITA Award for agri-food innovation, presented by the Catalan government. We are a rarity in Europe

It is a unique project throughout Europe. With our own organic ingredients, we grow ourselves. The concept of Farm Brewery is very extensive in Northern Europe and it is called to those breweries that produce some of its ingredients. In Lo Vilot Farm Brewery, let’s go a little further and do what we call Full Circle Beer Project, making the closed circle in the production of handmade beer from the beginning to the end and controlling the different parts of the process.
